  • Limit, The -- Yaphet Kotto gets in over his head as writer, director, and star in a film about a Los Angeles cop having trouble justifying his job and the special demands it makes on him because he is black. As a director, Kotto is unable to overcome the insurmountable problems of an underdeveloped script and an obviously bargain-basement budget. Some mature themes. (A-III) (PG) ( 1972 )




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
